It has been said of abstract expressionism - it is painting music.
That is to say, it has broken down the barrier between music and painting, and has isolated the pure emotion which, for want of a better name, we call the artistic emotion. Anyone who has listened to good music with any enjoyment will admit to an unmistakable but quite indefinable thrill. He or she will not be able, with sincerity, to say that such a passage gave him such visual impressions, or such a harmony roused in him such emotions. The effect of music is too subtle for words. And the same is true for great abstract expressionist painting.

For many, to stand in front of these paintings gives a keener and more spiritual pleasure than any other kind of painting. But I could not express in the least what gives the pleasure.

My method of painting is direct using a bright and lively pallet. I strive for a freshness in my use of color and a vitality in my brush work that reflects my personality. I embrace abstract expressionism as an opportunity to paint intuitively - not starting with an idea in mind but with the act of painting itself.
I also find expression through the interplay of object imagery and abstract color forms.

Over time my work has evolved in two directions.
Action painting, involves a direct unplanned assertion of color and texture. The second is a response to photographed objects.
